By chance, I saw this exhibition in the Chicago Cultural Center. It a great idea but with the american means of doing it. I was very surprising triying it in America but maybe chicago is a unique city, I start thinking about it.
The mission of Project Onward is to support the creative growth of visual artists with mental and developmental disabilities. project Onward provides studio space, art supplies, and professional guidance to emerging artists in a communal workshop environment. We believe that artists with special needs deserve a voice in the world of art and ideas, and that their extraordinary work has a universal audience. Project Onward exhibits, promotes, and sells the artists’work as a means to provide earned income and a sense of personal achievement, as well as to integrate the artists into the wider arts community.Project Onward collaborates with local and national partner agencies to organize exhibitions and advocacy efforts for artists with disabilities. Project Onward artists are included in numerous private and corporate art collections, and their works are exhibited widely.
